Is it possible to programmatically disable and enable the led indicator light on an Android device? I am not referring to just turning it on and off as in a notification. I did not see anything in the api that would do so. I am guessing this is hardware specific if it is possible at all.

Yea sure there is a way...

android.provider.Settings.System.putInt(getContentResolver(),
            "notification_light_pulse", 1);

1 - indicate on state

0 - indicate off state

I have not seen any APIs for dealing with the LEDs other than the Notification class.

  • I don't believe there is anything in the Notification class that will allow you to disable the led or am I missing something? – JDM Jul 22 '10 at 01:46

    @martinjd: Correct. Hence, I do not think there are any APIs in Android that let you disable the LEDs. I apologize for not making that clearer in my original answer. – CommonsWare Jul 22 '10 at 01:52
